Chapter 299: The Hegemony of the West

"The opportunity for hegemony has ended and now I could only fight for this tribe survival!"

At the end of this sentence the chief of the Haltur tribe could only sigh.

Looking at the crude map on the table in his tent, he could only sigh and shakes his head

" All over the war drums are being hit. The Skyfather watches all and the Earthmother drank the blood of Her children" He sigh, his sigh seems to be a sigh of acceptance

He could not change what has happen

"I could not do this alone. Chadha is using the power of three tribes to overwhelmed me. How could my tribe survive such an attack?"

He knows he could not surrender.

There is blood feud between his tribe and the Chagai tribe.

"three decades of feud"

" A white wolf marks the end of family"

Three decades ago, a fateful hunting trip set in motion a long-standing rivalry.

The chief of the Haltur tribe and the Chagai tribe were cousins.

They went to Burak on a hunting trip, and when they returned to their respective tribe, the chief of Haltur had an arrow embedded in his back, while the chief of Chagai had an arrow lodged in his shoulder.

Each chief accused the other of being the aggressor, claiming that the opposing chief had shot them.

Unfortunately, both chiefs succumbed to their injuries shortly after the incident, leaving a lingering cloud of uncertainty over the true events that transpired.

And thus, the rivalry between the Haltur and Chagai tribes was born.

And because of that hunting trip, the animosity between the two tribes persisted for three decades and it is still ongoing

New grudges and old grades mixed together and the conflict between them could no longer be so easily solved.

Not to mention now that the Chagai tribe has the full advantage and also has great interest in conquering Haltur tribe.

This time, the battle would be decisive.

This time, it is a battle of destroying a tribe!

The grudges could be settled and Chagai tribe would also fulfil objective target which is to expand toward the west, the alliance of the three tribes controlling the entire western area of the Southern Great Steppe.

This is what Haltur chief tribe deduced

If Chagai took his tribe and his territory Chagai territory would be large and expansive and Chagai tribe could be considered a large tribe by then.

As long as one would give him a few season, Chadha could develop his tribe and then slowly destroy the Burka tribe, Ino tribe and Gir tribe.

At the same time, Ultar tribe is expanding in the north could take against Oglan tribe or the other northern tribes in the Southern Great Steppe.

Nergui tribe could move to the east. And if these three created a battle line that separates the western area, they truly would become an overlord in the west.

Then they could also stop the expansion of Brolgadhr tribe that is enhancing their influence in the west.

Whether because of emotion or logic, Haltur chief tribe could understand Chadha.

"But I am not a fish on the chopping board yet, Chadha! I will not surrender nor will my tribe surrender" .

unlike the Brolgadhr chief that could truly let bygones be bygones, the Haltur chief tribe does not think that Chadha, the chief of the Chagai tribe has such capacity for compassion.

He is quite sure that the moment he surrenders his head would be the first one to go. And all of his tribe remembers probably would not be spared.

Old grudges must be repaid.

Aeryon could forgive.

Even he had heard of the generosity of Aeryon.

At first , he thought of the young boy as possessing the kindness of a woman.

But then looking at how quickly the Brolgadhr tribe expands and becoming strong and seeing so many small tribes and clans join the Brolgadhr tribe, he changes his mind and could see that in Aeryon, this is a trait of a unifier.

But Chadha is not Aeryon. He might imitate some of Aeryon method but he would surely not imitate that method when dealing with him.

This is the difference

"Hmph!" he snorted.

"I don’t think I am the only one that would like to see you repelled." Saying this he calls a few messenger into the tent, relay his orders and dozens of messengers rides out from the tribe.

Haltur chief tribe quickly send messengers to Burka tribe, Gir tribe and Ino tribe. The message was simple

If the lips are gone, the teeth will grow cold.

The situation is explained to these tribes and the chiefs of these tribes all paled in the face.

And all these tribes could not help reach the same conclusion

The West will not be peaceful. Send warriors and aid Haltur!

Bolghar is watching, Khagai is waiting, the battle for the west opens its curtain!

Spring is the beginning of something new.

The renewal of death.

But in the Great Steppe, at this point of time, at this moment of history, it is the prelude to a great battle between the tribe in the west that would decide the world!

....

Aeryon smiles as he look at the vast green grass in front of him. His hair waves as it is blown by the wind of the Great Steppe.

"It has been a long time since I go out of the city" Aeryon thought to himself as he sees the vastness of the plains in front of him

The Great Steppe greenery, the feeling of being in a vast land with no one else, one could not describe how this feeling made him feel

It is like an unrestrained freedom.

In a way, Aeryon understand why nomadic tribes in the Steppe find it hard to settle down.

Wanderlust is present in the blood of the Great Steppe.

Aeryon himself is a homebody. He likes to rest in his room, reading books and while he liked travelling, he did not have the desire to travel every day.

But maybe because he occupied the body and soul of the original Aeryon, he also had that feeling of wanderlust.

He wanted to ride his horse and travel the world.

This instinct just is present in him.

And when that instinct overwhelms him, he would simply jump out from his bed, goes out of his tent and then rides hi shores to see the blue vast sky, the green vast plains and rides it with his horse feeling the harsh wind of the Steppe.

This world lacks technology of his old world, it lacks entertainment, but there is this freedom, this desire to discover things, there is friendship, family, struggles and triumph.

He never felt more alive

And then there is the people of Yan

The people of Yan is settled people, they would live in one place for thousands of years and when they have to leave their home, they would miss their home.

But the people of the Steppe sees the world as their home and wherever they go, that is their home.

Where they die, that is their grave. And their body would return back to the Earth, nourishing all things

"But, this is not a good time thinking of all this" he thought in his mind while a smirk formed on the side corner of his mouth

"Hey!" There is loud roar from behind him. He only laughed

Aeryon look behind him.

Three horsemen is shouting towards him and Aeryon only smiles

Yes, Aeryon is being chased.

Even though Aeryon look relaxed, looking at the vast land in front of him, thinking of all kinds of things, he is actually being pursued

"Stop!"

An arrow passes Aeryon as Aeryon deftly avoided it by slightly changing the direction of his horse.

"Hahaha!"

The situation is like this.

Aeryon had just passed through the Korun territory.

Of course, the Korun chief did not know that he would pass their tribe.

Aeryon suspected if the Korun chief tribe knows that he would be passing his tribe, that chief would surely welcome him with all kinds of ceremony and make it as high profile as possible.

Not to mention the complication that would happen after that. After all, Aeryon knows the desire of the Korun chief tribe.

Then as he was passing through , he met a few bandits.

The bandits is instantly "enamoured" with him

With one glance they could see that he is a loaded man.

That is not surprising. From the way Aeryon is dressed and the horse that he is riding, it is clear that he is not among the downtrodden.

At first, there is twenty people. Aeryon killed almost seventeen of them. And then three of them keep pursuing him. Aeryon must admit that he underestimated these twenty people. They might not be as strong as the people Aeryon had fought before.

But Aeryon discover that when familiar people cooperated together, the force that they could muster is not a force that you should underestimate.

Before Aeryon could finish all of them, Aeryon could tell that he was losing his energy and he became even more tried.

It is amazing actually that these bandits could push Aeryon to this state.

Aeryon did not even feel tired when he was fighting hundreds of people in Nurshira. But twenty people wore him down.

This is probably because many of these bandits all have kind of martial art skill and some of them could even channel the energy of heaven and earth

Some uses wrestling to try to pin him down, some uses fist skill and some uses kicking technique.
